Thinking Playground

Students need lots of practice finding mean, median, mode, and range. Brackets keep them motivated! In round 1, the winner is the set with the highest mode. In round 2, it's the set with the highest median. Round 3 has students looking for the lowest range, and the final winner is the set with the lowest mean. Just print and go for exciting practice for your students!

Students will determine whether the inequality is true or false for the given value of 'x', but only after playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Partner your students or let them choose. Each player chooses a side. Now, it's time for Rock, Paper, Scissors! The winner solves the next problem on their side and then they play again. The first partner to reach the top of their side takes the paper to the teacher for an answer check. If everything is right (the work as well as the choice of true or false),

This is the perfect spot for your students to record their work for and answers to a Do Now that you have posted on the board at the beginning of class. There is space for four days. If you have a fifth day, students can use the back. Now, rather than flipping through four or five sheets per student and trying to keep track of who completed which day, it's all consolidated onto one sheet making grading go much more quickly and smoothly.
